To celebrate the release of our new, international short story anthology, x -24: unclassified, a selection of writers from the book will read at an exclusive event supported by the Barbican Library this Wednesday. In attendance will be the editors Tash Aw and Nii Ayikwei Parkes, who will speak briefly about the joys and challenges of putting together an anthology that includes work by writers from Ecuador, Nigeria, Peru, and the United States (to name but a few).
Considering that the editors themselves grew up in Malaysia and Ghana respectively, this promises to be a truly international experience. Add free drinks to the mix and you're in for a great time... The details are:

TIME: 6.30pm / ENTRY: FREE (drinks provided)
VENUE: Barbican Library, Barbican Centre, London, EC2Y 8DS
Reading on the night will be: Gaylene Gould, Clare Wigfall, Niki Aguirre and Claire Sharland
Join us for a fantastic evening.
